Sensory Integration Education provides practical assistance to support the development of evidence and best practice relating to sensory integration across the lifespan.

We can help with recruiting research participants and disseminating finished research. We aim to build the skills of early career researchers working to contribute to the national and international evidence base for SI.

How Can I Find Participants for My Sensory Research?

You can apply to have your request for research participants shared on SIE’s social media, newsletters and forums.

SI Research Poster Presentations

How satisfying would it be to see your work recognised in a poster presentation at the next SIE Annual Conference? Showcase your work to a supportive community and add another point to your professional experience. We welcome submissions in any of the following areas:

  • Clinical outcomes, evaluation, or innovation
  • Service development, evaluation, or innovation
  • Recent research or implementation of findings

There are two types of submission: a stand-alone virtual poster or a virtual poster with a pre-recorded 5-minute presentation. If you are not already a member, join SIE for free and look out for emails about the calls for poster presentation abstracts.

Where Can I Get Advice About Publishing My Sensory Research?

We recommend joining the Lifelong Learning Programme, which will give you access to a friendly community of practitioners, including those who have published research, and more detailed resources on conducting and funding research.
